Russian manicures offer benefits like exceptionally long-lasting, chip-free wear (3-4+ weeks), a cleaner look due to detailed cuticle work with electric files, improved nail health by avoiding water soaking (reducing infection risk), and a perfect, smooth base for gel polish, making them ideal for a durable, high-polish, "natural" look.
Key Benefits:
• Extended Wear: Precision application and cuticle prep allow gel or polish to last much longer, often 3-4 weeks without chipping.
• Healthier Nails: The dry technique avoids water soaking, preventing bacterial growth and weakening, while specialized tools gently clean the cuticle area.
• "Clean Girl" Aesthetic: Achieves an extremely clean, polished look with a perfect cuticle line, making nails appear flawless and well-groomed.
• Superior Base for Polish: The meticulously prepped nail bed creates an ideal, smooth surface for gel or lacquer, enhancing adhesion and finish.
• Reduced Damage: Less aggressive buffing and no soaking means less thinning and weakening of the natural nail plate.
• Versatile: Can be adapted for different nail types and serves as a great foundation for extensions and intricate nail art.
